TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment of cancer fever
Cancer fever refers to the fever caused by the tumor itself or due to treatment in the case of excluding infection.At present,Modern medicine has no special treatment for cancer fever,and generally applies non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or hormone drugs,but these two drugs are prone to water and sodium retention,gastrointestinal reactions,etc.,affecting the quality of life of patients,and is not suitable for long-term use.The application of TCM syndrome differentiation in the treatment of cancer fever provides another idea for clinical treatment.In TCM,cancer fever can be classified as"fever of internal injury",which has been recorded as early as in Huangdi Neijing(《黄帝内经》),and the treatment principle of"When cold medicine aggravates the heat syndrome,the method of nourishing Yin(阴)and tonifying kidney should be used clinically"was clearly put forward in this book.On this basis,later generations of physicians have also created many effective classical prescriptions for the treatment of internal injury fever,which are still widely used TCM divides cancer fever into two types,deficiency fever and excess fever.Deficiency fever can be divided into Qi(气)deficiency fever,Yin deficiency fever,Yang(阳)deficiency fever and compound type of deficiency fever due to the deficiency of positive Qi,so the treatment should be mainly to replenish deficiency,and at the same time to invigorate Qi,nourish Yin,replenish Yang,and care for the spleen and stomach.The excess patients'heat potential is more intense,and cold drugs can be appropriately used to clear the heat and purge fire.Clinically,patients with excess cancer fever can be divided into the heat toxicity syndrome,phlegm-dampness syndrome,blood stasis fever syndrome,etc.The treatment should focus on clearing heat,combined with the methods of purging fire for detoxification,drying dampness and eliminating phlegm,and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.Cancer fever is not uncommon in patients clinically,and how to relieve the symptoms and improve the quality of life of patients requires continuous summarizing and sorting out clinically.
